Included in your Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) course tuition is a one year complimentary membership in the Canadian Academy of Senior Advisors (CASA).  Thereafter, annual membership renewal dues are $195 plus GST.  Renewal fees go toward the ongoing development of member support services, as well as funding the independent Board of Standards (see CSA Code and Disciplinary Actions section of this website).

Each membership renewal is for a period of 12 months. Dues are payable in advance of the membership renewal date which can be viewed at any time on the member-only section of the official CSA website www.canadacsa.com.  Current dues can be paid through lump sum or monthly on-line payments for ease and convenience.

Participate in our Referral Credit Program and continue to get your membership for free!    If someone who has registered for a CSA course has named you as the person who referred them, you will receive 1 credit. Referral credits can be banked and used during any year for membership renewal. 1 referral credit is equal to $100 off your renewal, so refer 2 persons each year, and you will never have to pay any renewal fee!  It is in your best interest to spread the word regarding the benefits of taking the CSA course!
